title = "OECD/NEA and U.S. NRC PWR MOX/UO 2 core transient benchmark",
abstract = "The benchmark described here was designed to provide the framework for assessing the ability of modern reactor kinetics codes to predict the transient response of a core partially loaded with MOX fuel. This benchmark employs many of the characteristics of the NEACRP L-335 PWR benchmark proposed by Finnemann in 1991 which was designed to assess the ability of spatial kinetics codes to model rod ejection transients. The current problem adds the complexity of modeling a rod eject in a core fueled partially with weapons grade MOX. The core chosen for the simulation is based on a four-loop Westinghouse PWR power plant similar to the reactor chosen for Plutonium disposition in the U.S.",
